Builder’s Note: Ok, so I was building my fictional WWII destroyer and then I just kinda stopped. Why? I make awful superstructures. Then I decided to go through some site about ship types and decided on a Sub-Chaser. After a while, I got to this. This thing is based pretty heavily on the real PC-451. So yeah, I made a Sub Chaser.
Depth Charge Note: They are only for decorations. I didn’t actually make them explode.
